The reluctant return

I’m back from Vegas, a little poorer but much enriched. We had a smashing time- good food, good weather, good company. Once I get to look at the pictures more thoroughly, I’ll put together a montage/narrative, possibly with music by Smashmouth.

Here’s the trip by the numbers:

1 Hoover dam visit

3 Elvis sightings

5 fabulous days in Vegas

6 Bighorn sheep spotted

6.5 liters of beer drank at Hofbräuhaus

25 dollars won at no-bust Blackjack

413 miles walked

162,000,000 Chinese people in town for Chinese New Years

As is nearly always the case, I wasn’t ready to come home, particularly since it’s not risen above freezing yet.
